I'm not entirely sure how many of the band could have been considered
"permanent" members in the early 70s! - at least according to the various
histories I've read - even Dave Brock had to call off sick on a couple of
occasions so it's possible that some folk were more often not there than
there on many gigs.   Unreliable, I think is the phrase usually employed.
But, yeah, I had always thought of Lemmy as being one of the full-time
band members up until his departure.
